Our wacky street names

Last week, Houston landed, yet again, on one of those offbeat national polls. This time, we have the coveted number five spot on the Wild, Weird, and Wacky Street Names Contest, sponsored by Mitsubishi. J.D. Montfort submitted the intersection of Clinton Drive and Fidelity Street, located in east Houston near the Ship Channel, and he’ll receive a life-size replica of those signs for his winning submission. If he’s a Republican, we're sure he’ll proudly display it on his wall.

Political humor can only take you so far; potty humor takes you farther — which is why we were beat out by Farfrompoopen Road in Arkansas. The No. 1 street name ended up being Psycho Path in Michigan. Houstonist thinks we have a few friends living there.
